Government trapper showed up this morning with hounds to track down cougar. Dogs immediately picked up scent and off they went toward the west, trapper followed using GPS, soon dogs stopped, so we thought they had it up a tree, but a few minutes later the chase was on until dogs reached the highway and trapper called a halt. He returned to the site of the dead deer, which had been buried and set a trap. My job to monitor it and report what happens. Saw some interesting places to the west of here, especially the property west of Charlie's--place looked like something from the old movie Deliverance. Even the trapper was shocked, and he has seen many ugly places in the county.
